What Farm Doesn’t Need A Fire Truck!??

[@Jon_Pearl]

I drove a Snorkel, exactly like that, many years ago. Like many departments, we hung onto it, way too long. We called it the Klingon Cruiser!

[@texlongone]

Isn't it great that you can send Grandpa down to get the worn out parts repaired or replaced? Give him a hug and enjoy having him around telling you not to mess up the yard. Keep safe!

Been to Wilmar a lot back in the day. We had a cabin on lake Norway for 22 years. Lots of great memories!

I hope you guys can get that stuff cleaned up after the storm & hopefully soon you will be in the fields finally. Keep it up Chet

I was a volunteer fireman/EMT while going to college (long time ago as I am retired). We had an American La France 80 boom-snorkel truck. I was one of 12 student that lived at station upstairs. The University Of Idaho in Moscow. Built the Kibby dome. . It looked like a half a soup can on its side with 180 feet to the under of the ceiling. We had a sales demonstration inside the dome for the air filled stunt/rescue bags which are inflated with smoke evac fans. The boom was at 60 feet and I was one of six to have an opportunity to jump. The procedure was to jump out and kick your feet in front of you and fall back first . When I jump and fell back first my mind freaked out as it id not natural to fall back first. My heart hit at 180 BPM. I had no sensation of hitting anything or stopping. It was an unique opportunity that one doesn't repeat. The one you bid on was an aerial basket. The truck did not have its own pump, that I could see. You would need another pumper truck that would supply 750 to 1200 GPM at 40-80 PSI. Water supply would be a big problem.

[@carlmarr2984]

I'm a 30yr retired Fireman, the Snorkel is hooked to a engine to punp water to it the little nozzle under the basket is to protact you from the heat of a large fire which this is mostly used for at one fire I spent 12hrs up in one

My Dad was the driver for Engine 7 at station 7 in Flint Michigan. Arthritis and thrombosis retired him from fighting winter fires in the 50's and 60's before they developed self sealing gloves. Water would get past the stretch cuffs abd get his hands wet. He sold his Harley because it hurt to much to ride it from the vibration so he "gasp" bought a 650 Yamaha. Much smoother ride.

@@freemanhochstetler9598. He passed away over a decade ago from thrombosis related to his years firefighting. He was also a WW II Navy Veteran. I didn't know that until the day I came home from Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate A school post boot camp. My Mom made me come home in my uniform and when I sat down next to her on the sofa my Dad got up ftom his chair and said he had something to show me. He went into their downstairs bedroom and when he came back he put a small lapel button on the coffee table and told me to look at it. I picked it up and it was a WW II Navy service pin. My parents got married when he returned in 1946. She was 16 and he was 20. That was relatively common back then unlike today. Nobody batted an eye then. My oldest sister was born the next year. I'm the middle of 7 siblings. They drove him to the cemetery on the top of the Engine he had driven before he retired on a medical.

Uoy guys need one of the small firetruck they use on brush fires to clean the tracks of your equipment in the field instead of that toy pressure cleaner. They're designed to use water from multiple sources including creeks and ditches. I'm impressed how Y'all get so much done on pretty much everything you need to do including building that upstairs living area. No lollygagging for you guys. Even Dougo keeps busy.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all and most important: I trust you have recovered from the storm damage and trust everyone is ok. I hope your damage was not too severe. Bad deal these storms. You all take care. Now back to this video. A fire truck, come on now. Spring better get here soon or these guys will have you crazy Dougo. $16 at Dairy Queen was a good trade off. Sorry about the skid loader. Hopefully the pump overall will not be too bad. Lot to take apart to get it out. Good to see Toby. Looks like his leg is much better. Good Toby. Just remember, no fire 🔥 trucks. Once again, sending my best wishes that your storm damage was not too severe and all of you are ok. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

It's a elevated master stream truck, (snorkel). A line from a pumper (engine) supplies it. Be a lot of fun & probably handy during bin/dryer clean up time. Retired firefighter here.

[@OOpSjm]

That means they shouldn't get it since it requires a second pumper truck, correct?

[@mikegarrett9103]

@@OOpSjm , if all they want is a high rise water shooter, you can supply it with a larger transfer pump & water supply from their trailer. Sold anyway.

hey your opening shot you should do one with just like that but of the after affects of the storm! Happy to here your all ok.

[@brannonarends9595]

So most if not all of those snorkels were not designed to pump their own water that’s why it has no pump. They were designed to have a line run to them from a pumper truck to supply them water. Hope you guys have a great harvest.

[@mr.b6374]

When you see the fire truck knowing that the farm took the hit from the Storms the other day, and nothing in the vlog about it!!!

I had a big half dead elm tree between my neighbor and where I was building a new pole barn, So I hired a tree crew to top, cut in sections and take it down. These guys showed up with a fire truck that had a 65 foot snorkel boom with man basket. It was a 1960 International Harvester firetruck, that had been the first truck of it's kind for New York City. It was in excellent shape. The tree guys found it on eBay and had last seen service in a small town in Illinois. It did have a pump and water tank. I saw it recently and it is still in service for the tree company. 62years old.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Many of those auctions allow a bidder to set a maximum and it incrementally raises as others bid.. Ladder and bucket trucks don't usually have a pump. They get hooked to a pump truck for a water supply.

[@BruceBergman]

Fire coach was Crown Coach - boom is used With a Pumper inline. Bucket is a lift only, you need a Pumper separately. Looks like a Los Angeles City California unit.

[@donmathias1705]

Love you videos..just a tip. When your have the height use a long chain to lift stuff like that final drive out..it's much easier to figure out the "side" pull..As well as that a long chain does not drop much when it swings. I know you have holes in end of forks so it's good work practice to use them as a slip stop. A good habit might just stop a unwanted slip off one day that leads to a breakage or injury. We all need to end the day uninjured. Liked your track removal. Usually a block of wood or similar jambed under green track and driven around the sprocket will squeeze all the grease off. I would be surprised if there is not a hole you can put a bar thru to stop the idler blowing out again. Have fun guys.

[@HGNeese3rd1]

Chet, you guys will have fun learning to operate the two rams raising the bucket, in Camden-Wyoming, De. we had a 95' snokel on a 1981 Americian La-France 10 wheel chassis. That baby can fly down the road, does it have a pump on the truck if not you will need to have a pumper truck when flowing water to clean the drier. Maybe get the local fire company to use a tanker and pumper to get the flow you need for a donation and a lota fun. Our snokel could flow 1500 gallons a minute through the tip but beware the bucket will move when flowing water. Good use for a old fire truck

[@robertlafollette9137]

I use to work for Snorkel in St Joseph, Mo. I believe you had a 85Ft

[@ralfus37]

Take the tank off and sell the extension ladders, make a shop and tool truck out of it. The ladder will be excellent for servicing the leg, dryer and lots of high work, tree topping, roof repairs and even a tow truck for the yard. Maybe not. Call me if you need suggestions.

[@robinmcgraw9893]

The ladder truck without a pump needs a fire truck hooked to a hydrant. They use a 4" or 5" supply line to feed water to the ladder truck.

Quick easy way to pull that piston in is put it back on the ground and back up really quick wit the bulk removed because the machine is pooling on the top and pushing on the bottom it’ll pull it in but you might want to put a pop can or bottle over it so you don’t have a grease all over the place in the future I helped the neighbor do the exact same thing and I made the same recommendation 10 years ago and he’s been changing tracks like that ever cents every three years
